VULTURES?

I almost did.

We have vultures and buzzards here. One or two have actually dive bombed the ducks and geese but they have never landed. I think I would probably have a stroke if I looked out my window and saw that many vultures handing around my birds.

Wow, the vultures around here don´t ever do anything towards my birds. Well, not unless they´ve been dead a few days!

Seriously, though, they stay well away, only looking for carrion. I always make sure there´s nothing around here to attract them.


@Carrosaur , I doubt if they´d do anything to the goose, but as Pear´s a sitting duck, I´d not want to risk it. A bit unnerving.

Very scary. ): My pit usually guards the house from people to deer to coyotes to vultures, but she wasn't outside at the time, I guess it could've been bad.

We have 2 or 3 vultures fly in every day to get a drink . The chickens and geese don't really like it, neither do I , but they never bother anyone.

I let the dog out to chase them off daily so maybe the get the idea to keep away! I would not want them drinking my birds water's. You have NO idea what diseases they carry!?

I know I scrubbed out Pears water and food holder things after that. Chicken flicker do your birds not get sick?

Yes, it can get like that here...sometimes must be 200 circling around when a cow has died in a field, for example. After a few days, just a rack of ribs.. Quite impressive. No-one here views them as a threat to the poultry, though. Just the carcará hawks. And I´ve never heard anyone say about them passing on disease either....
